The Pacers won at home, and these three are absolute heroes!

In the third game of the NBA 2024-2025 season finals, the Indiana Pacers sat at home, defeating the Oklahoma City Thunder 116-107, and regained the lead with a big score of 2-1 in the seven-game four-win finals. The victory of this game is inseparable from the outstanding performance of the following three players. As the core of the team, Halliburton contributed quasi-triple double-double data of 22 points, 9 rebounds and 11 assists in this game, setting a single-game scoring record in the career finals. He entered the offensive and pass mode from the beginning of the game, efficiently scored 5 points and 4 assists in the first quarter. Although the team fell behind in the first quarter, he did not retreat at all. In the second quarter, he scored 7 points and 3 assists, leading the team to a climax of 40 points and achieving a score overtake. Throughout the game, he always controlled the rhythm of the game, especially in the final quarter, he made a three-pointer from the outside and assisted Siakam to score a layup, becoming the team's number one hero for winning.

Siakam also performed stably, contributing 21 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals. On both sides of the offense and defense, he provides solid guarantees for the team. When the Thunder launched a counterattack in the third quarter and the team was in trouble, Siakam stabilized his mind and continued to score, allowing the team to always maintain the ability to compete with the opponent, laying the foundation for the final victory.

And the surprises in this game are Mathering. As a substitute, he scored 27 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist in the game, with extremely high offensive efficiency. His outstanding performance has helped the team stabilize the situation many times. Especially in the second quarter, Matherin was proficient in breakthroughs and shooting, scoring 14 points in a single quarter to help the Pacers take the lead. When the team fell into scoring drought in the last quarter, he stepped forward and bit the difference with 2+1 and three-pointers. He also hit two free throws steadily before the end of the game. His 27 points have become an important weight for the team to win.

It is precisely because of Halliburton's comprehensive organization, Siakam's stable output and Mathering's efficient score that the Pacers can achieve this key victory at home. In the next game, the performance of the three of them will still be the key factor in determining whether the Pacers can win the championship.
